While fancy cakes are gorgeous, there’s also a specialness about the simplicity of a simple tiered cake with ribbon. Perhaps a simple flower or monogram, but just plain simple elegance.

Have a spare US$40,000? You might want to splurge on the 1995 Vintage White Gold Jeroboam commemorative champagne by Dom Perignon.

Plated in white gold, the bottle features the Dom Perignon crest. There’s only 100 bottles available worldwide, so be quick to snap up your wedding day drink

Australian Fashion Week is almost over and there have been some gorgeous pieces on show as always. I was hanging out to see what Alex Perry came up with

I loved the unusual silhouettes the designers displayed this year. A lot of toned down colours were shown- instead of jewel purple it was lavender, instead of dark grey, designers lent towards softer shades.

Alex Perry wowed me with his ‘Safari Princess’ collection. I adore the soft floaty tulle and cute fifties shapes.

Fashionistas, which looks did you love from Australian Fashion Week?

I recently spotted these beautiful gowns on All Things Bright & Beautiful recently and had to share.

Such beautiful old world glamour! Pierre Balmain was a French designer who founded Mason Balmain in 1942. With a background in architecture, he believed “dressmaking is the architecture of movement”.

You can read more about the stunning designer on All Things Bright & Beautiful (another of my must reads, lost of gorgeous things to admire!)

I think the above would make a stunning wedding gown!
